“I’m Speaking, Getting Featured – But My Photos Are Letting Me Down”

You’ve built your reputation on expertise. But your image may not reflect that… yet.

You’ve stepped into a new season of visibility:

  • Advisory roles

  • Speaking events

  • Website refreshes

  • LinkedIn updates

  • Media interviews

These opportunities call for presence. But if your imagery is outdated, underwhelming, or just doesn’t feel like you… it can quietly hold you back.

And if you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing big things – but my photos don’t show that”? or “I’m working hard and finally getting recognised for it – but my photos are outdated / make me cringe”? You’re not alone.


Amanda’s Story: A CEO Stepping Into Her Next Chapter

When Amanda came to me, she was preparing to step into the CEO role at her company. A press release was imminent. Her team needed to update the website. The moment called for visibility.

But Amanda’s only professional photo she liked-ish was over 5 years old.

She didn’t hate it – but it no longer reflected who she is now. Like many high-performing women I work with, Amanda wanted more than a ‘nice photo.’ I knew she wanted to feel confident in – and proud of – how she showed up.

We talked about what mattered:
✔ Looking like herself
✔ Projecting confidence and warmth
✔ Feeling natural – not stiff, not overstyled
✔ Appearing both approachable and professional

Together, we created a collection of images she could use across platforms – from press to LinkedIn to the company website to speaking events. The best part? She finally had up-to-date photos she loved.

Your Visuals Should Reflect Your Level of Leadership

When you're building trust, leading teams, or guiding clients through complexity – you deserve images that show your presence.

But let’s be honest:

  • Most brand photoshoots feel either awkward, the styling is the hero (it should be YOU), or the images feel just not you.

  • The process can feel overwhelming – what to wear, how to pose, where to begin.

  • And in the end, you still might not love the result.

That’s why I’ve designed a high-touch, expertly guided experience – built for women in consulting, leadership, and advisory roles.

Strategic, Professional Brand Photography – With You in Mind

Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

  • A pre-shoot strategy session to clarify how you want to be seen

  • Professional Hair & Makeup Artist onsite to help you feel polished and at ease

  • Confident, enjoyable, expert posing guidance throughout – no awkward “what do I do with my hands?” moments

  • A cosy, private, newly renovated studio in central Wellington designed just for this

  • A curated collection of images ready for:
    — Your website
    — LinkedIn
    — Media coverage
    — Proposals
    — Speaking events
    — Podcast appearances
    — And any moment where you need to show up confidently

You’re Ready for This Next Level – Let’s Make Sure Your Photos Are, Too

Amanda didn’t just walk away with better photos.
